I would like to join this new group. I am a university researcher in the field of biochemistry but I remeber my classical studies with pleasure and can still read ancient greek and translate but I wouls also like to improve and broaden my knowledge.
Thanks for consideration

I would also like to join to the group for people using Homeric Greek: A Book for Beginners by Clyde Pharr. Now there is no such a group. The last one has been already closed. But if there are a lot of people wishing to joing this group, another one will be organized. So, we need more people.

See if you can get 8-10 people for your Pharr group. As I earlier hinted, you'll probably lose half of them.

The guides you seek are typically senior-ish members of textkit. Each and every one of them is aware that your group will need a guide. Each, including me, is probably casting about for reasons why (s)he can't serve as guide right now. But, in the end, some generous soul usually steps up and serves.....

So easy to be generous if then no-one takes you up on your offer (or were you being cynical? I am not quite sure)

You couldn't know no one was going to take you up on your offer, the offer shows the generosity. (Unless you offered to appear generous and hoped no one would take you up on it but I refuse to believe that.)

You would start from the beginning, the Pharr-d schedule is too far ahead for you to be able to catch up, I would think.

I look at lessons posted for Pharr-d every saturday, so I would also pick up the lessons you two would be posting.

I suggest you ask Paul via this thread for an account in the Pharr-d group and that you subscribe to the Pharr-d mailinglist.

Then we can determine a schedule for you.

I had suggested a while back to have a "perpetual Pharr Program." People start whenever they like to as long as there are not any more than a pre-determined total. Now we try to get a number of participants before we start a group and then we have 80% or more drop out.
The problem is that we would also have to have (a) perpetual guide(s).
I don't know if the time has come for this or not.

I suppose the 'perpetual guide' would be something to work out. But a 'perpetual Pharr program' is not a bad idea. Actually, a very good idea.

Could you tell our two joiners whereto they can email their preferred account names for Pharr-d?

I wonder if time restraints have kept Paul from following Textkit conversations.
